I wonder how many of this country's "open minded" lefties will be running out to see this film on opening night?
“Every record been destroyed or falsified, books rewritten, pictures repainted, statues, street building renamed, every date altered. The process is continuing day by day. History stops. Nothing exists except endless present in which the Party is right.”
If there's one thing I've learned the last 3 years, it is that talking about how much America sucks is a sign of true patriotism... but saying that America is a great place to be means you are trying to silence dissent.
America sucks = patriotism.
America is great = fascism.
I'll just give you the words that set the tone of the review:
a star-spangled plea for the hearts and minds of Disney shareholders
steaming pile
commercial-slick vignettes
a hilarious camp artifact
apple-pie mythmaking at its most insidiously thoughtless
the shame of Abu Ghraib
the cornpone idea of America
red, white, and blue clichés
Technically, the film is a documentary, but it's closer to an advertisement or a state-funded propaganda film, calibrated to appeal to emotional, unreflective instincts through shimmering hogwash. If this is a real cross-section of America, then where are the needy, the disenfranchised, and the assholes?
